Set on the edge of Great Asby in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Belfry House is a substantial period family home with abundant character and a large private plot of around one acre. The main house offers generous living space — five reception rooms and four double bedrooms — arranged over a traditional layout that suits family life and home working. A detached double garage with a rear office and undercroft storage gives practical outbuildings for vehicles, hobbies or a business base.
The landscaped gardens, terraces and a small woodland area provide strong outdoor appeal, with mature planting and regular wildlife visits. Included in the sale is approximately half an acre of adjoining land with planning permission (Ref E/01/18A) for a three-bedroom dwelling and garage — a clear value driver for someone wanting additional accommodation, rental income or simply more garden. The property benefits from modern comforts such as an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating and fast fibre broadband.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone, mobile signal is reported as none, and council tax is high (Band F). The house is offered chain-free which can speed completion, but buyers should verify any recent works and the mixed construction notes (historic origins cited alongside a 2021 construction note) as part of their enquiries. EPC is noted as D and may be delayed in issue in this area.
Overall, Belfry House will suit families seeking a characterful, flexible home in a quiet village with strong community amenities and good road links nearby. It also offers a tangible development option via the adjoining plot permission — attractive to purchasers seeking scope to extend, develop, or enhance long-term value.
